in srnrs variar orio WALTER J. HERZOG, OF lEhIN, ILLINOIS,

COMBINED BLOW-TORGII AND SLDEBJING'r-tR-ON.

To all 207mm t may concern:

Be it known that l, WALTER J. Hnnzoe, a citizen of the United States,residingl at Pekin, in the county of Tazewell and State of Illinois,have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Combined Blow-Torches and Soldering-Irons, of which the following is a specification.

lli/ly invention relates to a combined blow torch and soldering iron.

More particularly my invention relates to the arrangement of parts anddevices to contain gasolene, to compress the same, to cause it to feedinto a vaporizing chamber, valve control for discharge of gas, a mixingchamber and a soldering iron. i

lily invention comprehends the combinaf tion of parts as above noted toproduce a blow torch and the association of a soldering iron; to detailsof construction and combination of parts hereinafter more partici larlypointed out in the specifications and claims.

Referring to the drawings:

lligure l is a side view of my complete device.

lEig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same subject mattershown in Fig. l.

My invention contemplates the production of a heater for solderingirons, will heat the iron while it is being used, the same being acomposite instrument, embracing the soldering tool, gasolene container,vaporizer, mixing chamber, controls, jets, all in a unit structure thatcan be held readily in the hand of the user.

Having special reference to details of structure, 2 is a reservoir orcontainer, in size of about grasp of the hand, said reservoir beingclosed with the head member having threaded opening 4, for the insertionand support of an air pump and threaded at 5 to receive a threaded cap6. 7 is an air pump which may be of any approved type.

8 is a supply opening into the reservoir and 9 is a closure for thesame.

l0 is a trcughlike cast member having1 a head member 11, attached asshown to the open end of reservoir 2 for closure purposes and isprovided with a threaded opening 12, and is also formed at its otherextremity with a bracket member 13 for supporting purposes.

la is a vaporizer tube or chamber communicating with and supportedwithin discharge opening 12 from the reservoir,

through inlet member 14s?.` l5 isza valve chamber walled from the mainbody of the vaporizcr chamber by partition 16, having` andl at spacedintervals longitudinally and circumferentially. Tubular chamber 20 issupported in bracket member 13. 28 is a soldering iron and 24 is aholder therefor serving to embrace the same and having a memberextending rearwardly for support and attachment in connectionwithbracket member 13 by means of a set screw 25 which cooperates with asuitable perforation in said bracket to effect such support of thesoldering iron holder to facilitate adjustment of the latter toposition, the soldering iron in line with the discharge opening frommixing chamber 20 and at varying distances therefrom as desired inpractical use.

26 are foldable leg members, pivoted to the tool structure as shown, toprovide means for seating the tool on the ficor or other support, saidleg members being spaced apart at their bottom portion as inferentiallyshown in Fig. 2.

llVhat l claim is:

l. n a device of the class described, in combination, a tubular handleforming a gasolene reservoir having an integral closure at one endthrough which projects an air pump, and open at its opposite end, a headmember removably secured to the open end of the tubular handle andprovided with an opening, a vaporizing tube secured at one end in saidopening, a removable plug formed with a small outlet opening threaded ineach end of the vaporizing tube, a transverse partition near the outerend of the lat ter tube having a perforation therein, a manuallyoperable valve for regulating the passage of gas through saidperforation, a semi-circular trough shaped bracket integral with thehead member projecting outwardly therefrom and below the vaporizingtube, a mixing tube threaded on the vaporizing tube and projectingthrough an opening in the end of the bracket, an adjustable arm carriedin said bracket end, and a soldering iron supported in line with themixing tube bysaidarm.

2. In a device of the class described, in combination, a tubular handleforming a gasolene reservoir having an integral closure at4 oneendthrough which projects an air pump, and open at its opposite end,ahead member removably secured to the open end of the tubular-handle and'provided With an opening,- a vaporizing tube secured at one end in.sald opening, a removable plug i formed With a small outlet openingthreaded 'in each end of the vaporizing tube, a transverse partitionnear the outer end of the latter' tube having a perforation therein, amanuallyoperable valve for regulating the -f passage of gas through saidperforation, a

semi-circular trough shaped bracket integral With the yhead memberprojecting outwardly therefrom belovv the vaporizing tube andterminating in two Vparallel arms connected V' 7 by a transverse endhaving an opening therecopies of this patent may be obtained for in, amixing tube snnnorted in said opening and threaded on the outer end ofthe vaporizing tube, a bearing on the upper part of said end, anadjustable arm slidable longitudinally in said bearing, a bolt in saidbearing lfor ixing the arm in adjusted position, and a soldering ironsupported in a depending end of said arm in line with the mixing tube. p

3. In a device of the class described, a reservo-ir, an outlet tubecommunicating With the reservoir, a bracket member extending from thereservoir for supporting the free end or' the outlet tube, a foot membersecured to the bracket member and a second foot member secured to thereservoir.

In testimony whereof I aHiX my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
